line up delimiters

If you have Perl installed on your machine you could also do ... 1) Highlight the text in TextPad and Copy it to the windows clipboard; 2) run "LineUpDelims.pl" from a windows toolbar (this munges the clipboard text for you); 3) Paste the modified clipboard contents over the highlighted Te...
